Headnote | Service law: Central Reserve Police Force – Punishment of Removal – In the instant case, respondent was removed from the service on the ground that a criminal case was pending against him for offence under ss.341, 323, 294, 337, 506 r/w s.34 IPC before the competent court but, while filling up the verification roll, he concealed the said fact and such an act was prejudicial to the discipline of CRPF – Appellate Authority declined to interfere with the decision of the Disciplinary Authority – Respondent appealed before the High Court, and the Single Judge dismissed the appeal – However, Division Bench of the High Court held that the punishment of removal from service was too harsh and directed the appellants to impose ‘any lesser punishment as deemed just and proper’ – Hence instant appeal – Held: Admittedly, at the time of filling up the verification roll, the criminal case was pending – Respondent cannot feign ignorance about the said case because he indeed surrendered before the Trial Court and was granted bail – He had indeed left the relevant columns in the verification roll blank; and thereby, had been wanting in forthrightness while filling up the verification roll for employment – That being the position, the findings whereby he is held guilty of misconduct of suppression/ concealment of material information, cannot be faulted at – In fact, such findings of the Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority were affirmed by the Single Judge as also by the Division Bench in the order impugned – Division Bench was not justified in interfering with the quantum of punishment – In the given set of facts and circumstances, where suppression of relevant information is not a matter of dispute, there cannot be any legal basis for the Court to interfere in the manner that the employer be directed to impose ‘any lesser punishment’, as directed by the Division Bench of the High Court – The submissions seeking to evoke sympathy and calling for leniency cannot lead to any relief in favour of the respondent. |

NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners.
